Objective:

The project investigates existing nutrient management of garden soils, the fertilising materials that are being used, and the crops grown. Subsequently, it will develop guidelines for the use of local resources (various types of animal manure and composts) in the management of plant nutrient availability for selected crops (nutrient-dense vegetables).
